about to change to different s.g. teeth

teeth

Mowingman:
I appreciate your reply on the teeth issue. I did swap them out to the greens last year when I was researching teeth. I have (on my little rayco s.g.) changed from the old useless half inch thick finger shaped teeth to the super teeth by Rayco, but I was looking for teeth for my big s.g. The super teeth do get used up in rocky soil, which I had already known, making them useless. I was in no hurry to put them on my big s.g. for that reason. the green teeth have been useful comparatively, except for the fact that they bog easier ( they don't kick out the sawdust as good as the Raycos).
As for your throw issue, I took a sheet of plywood and cut it down the middle leaving two 4x4 pieces. I then put them back together with a 4 foot "piano hinge". I have three of these which I put up as shields when needed. Others refer to this as "screening". I put them up in an "L" shape: out from the tires then pointing in the same direction the wheel goes. Keeps the rocks back where they belong and not going through windows.

I just fried my lead teeth on my big rayco stump grinder. Had it since January, I think 1670D, or somewhere around there. I have the vermeer pocket teeth on it now. I DON'T like pocket teeth because they break off before they use up. I have used the rayco super teeth for years on my little s.g. (self propelled), and love em. The debate is between the superteeth and the green teeth. I'm not interested in dealer sales attempts. Any of you guys had experience with BOTH regarding a larger powered machine?

Vermeer Yellow Jackets. Have been using them for 300 hrs now and find they cut well, easy to turn when blunt and are not too hard on the wallet.
No struggling to remove pockets to change teeth, a 9/16 socket is all you need to carry and one style of tooth fits all pockets.

I've used both the superteeth and the greenteeth on my small rayco (25hp)and would never go back to superteeth. The green teeth are cheaper and easier to replace and stay sharper way longer due to being dish shaped rather than flat. They also cut slightly faster. There are HEAPS of rocks in the soil where I work and I havnt had any problems with teeth cracking, although this is probably due to the size of the machine.
